The Name of the Dame
A fast-paced comedy parody of the film noir that left audiences at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in stitches.
This hour-long play is written and performed by comedians Kate McCabe and Adam Perrott.
Dames, detectives, stylish hats, 'car chases'... this parody of the film noir genre has got a gag rate that fires faster than a Tommy-gun and is marginally less painful. If you like Airplane, the oeuvre of Mel Brooks, dicey puns and sight gags, this show is probably for you.
With entertainment as the objective, the show makes the promise that 'You will learn nothing from this play. Nor will you experience personal growth or important revelations'.
NOTD is influenced by the likes of satirical masterpieces Airplane and Police Squad. The film noir genre is firmly in the crosshairs with a gag-rate that fires faster than a Tommy Gun.
Come see the play that reviewers say 'has broad appeal - silly, daft, hilarious, and highly entertaining', is 'easily the best show I've seen at The Fringe' and is 'hilarious from the first second'.
- Venue opens at 7pm.
- Show starts at 8pm.
